Trattoria Al Vecchio Club Rosanero

For a truly local food experience this trattoria is perfect. It's away from all the tourist crowds. Some staff members don't speak English, but they try to help and ask their colleagues who do. I've used the app for translation but other team members were quick to help with a smile. Pasta dishes are superb, full of flavour. The option to order half a portion is simply brilliant. Regular size portions are large so be aware. Beef steak with cheese was also very tasty and tender. The value for money is much better than on the main street and the atmosphere is 100% real Palermo. The old photographs of Palermo are so interesting.

- Don't get offput by people complaining about "menu of the day" – that's GOOD, it means their ingredients are fresh every day - Big portions, great taste - Get the white wine, it's fruity, refreshing, pairs greatly with the food

Came to this place after a few reviews pointed this place as a local favourite and having a home cook flavour. All I can say is come hungry, as the full portions are massive, and even the half portions of pasta are what you would usually call a full portion. The grilled squid was to die for, and the antipasto house mix is perfect. We loved it so much that we came back again a few days later for lunch.

Loved this cozy traditional place. Plenty of choice front he menu. Many locals eats there which I believe it’s always a good sign! Extra points if you are a football fan. Got one of the best stuffed squid I’ve ever had in my life

Great value for money, even by Palermo price level. Proper trattoria for locals.

The prices were fair, and the food was excellent. This was one of the best meals we had in the two weeks we spent traveling around Italy. A reservation is highly recommended before arriving. Pomodoro e melanzane, Bollito, and Cotoletta a sfincione were all excellent. The menu is extensive but the selection rotates so not everything is always available. I highly recommend visiting while in Palermo.

This trattoria is a wonderful place for a great meal. The food is delicious, full of rich flavors, and has that comforting homemade touch. Every dish is prepared with care, making it feel authentic and satisfying. The service is excellent—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The host goes out of their way to make sure you feel at home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, it’s a fantastic dining experience. If you're looking for tasty food and genuine hospitality, I highly recommend this trattoria!

A traditional and nice Sicilian restaurant with a local vibe. The first two dishes in the photos were delicious. We tried three pasta dishes of which I didn’t like any. The meat dish was bland. They have an English menu, but they didn’t have half the stuff in it. The day’s menu was written on a board in Italian. The staff didn’t speak English, but were friendly. Service charge € 1.5. I would come here again and order something else. Nice prices.
